Hi Guys,
I have a mate who wants to convert his HQ to power steer. He has a steering box and pump, but no brackets. It is a HQ 202. I thought VK brackets may work, but before going out and buying some I thought I would ask first. So what is the best and cheapest option here?? What brackets can we use???
Thanks

Yep, 6 cyl Commodore Power steer brackets are HEAPS easier to find than HQ - WB ones. Also, the VC - VH (Blue Motor) front pulleys for power steer and air are much more common than the early version and fit the early 6's too.
The VK has a different pum
